Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political upheaval in the Islamic world. The Abbasid Revolution, which took place from 745-756 CE, saw the overthrow of the Umayyad Caliphate and the establishment of the Abbasid Caliphate. This coin, minted by Abu Muslim's Partisans, who were Umayyad rebels, is a tangible reminder of the political and social changes that were taking place during this time period.
